Abstract

On 21 September 2023 - a beautiful sunny day - a good turnout of LAHS members gathered outside the famous 1832 Salem Wesleyan Church for a guided tour by Daphne McNeill. She is the granddaughter of Rev Peter Eyre, Salem minister, who died in the 1918 flu epidemic. His widow, Grace, Daphne’s grandmother, moved with her four children into Rosslyn House, Salem, and soon after married the owner, Sid Hill.
